*CRRASH!*
"MY CABBAGES!"
Orochimaru lands atop a cart filled to the brim with cabbages with Saeko hot on his tail, he rolls backwards and kicks her over him before deftly landing on the ground, his useless arms still hanging lifelessly at his shoulders.
"Perhaps we could come to an agreement? Surely your master can't provide you everything." the Sannin asks as Saeko stands opposite him, currently unsure of which blade to use... Samehada, Kakonoitami, or her own Shehai.
"Master? That was my lover." she retorts, causing the snake's face to fall.
"Ah... Well, I'm sure I could be far more attentive, you appear to have a lot of tension-"
*WHOOSH!*
Orochimaru sidesteps the cut of air sent at him, allowing it to slice the cart behind him completely in half.
"M-MY CABBAAGGEEESSSSSS!!"
"Shut up and fight, coward. You asked for this, so don't regret your choices now." she states, but has her eyes drawn upwards as the snake's assistant, Kabuto flies directly over their heads with Michael following not long after. "Unless you want to swap opponents now?"
"I will have to fight him either way, I doubt that man will let me kill his beloved and freely leave... Still, you have me at a disadvantage, what kind of warrior fights an unarmed cripple?" he chides.
"A victorious one." Saeko sneers, "Prepare yourself."
*Crash!*
Her foot leaves a crater as she lunges forwards, performing a draw-cut directly at the ninja's neck to decapitate him.
*CHINK!*
Orochimaru blocks the attack by regurgitating a sword blade, using the momentum of Saeko's strike to backflip to safety. "Tsk tsk, where's your honour?"
"You're wielding a blade now, that makes us even enough." she growls, using Sukue to rapidly rush forwards while stabbing with her blade. Orochimaru deflects the attack again, but due to the odd angle the sword was sprouting from his mouth, he isn't able to block the subsequent two attacks.
The bloody lines are slashed into him, one across his shoulder that almost severs his useless arm, and the other at his waist, almost completely bisecting him. He retreats by walking backwards and vertically up the wall, getting out of reach of the Werewolf warrior. "That's a fine blade you have, it should not have lasted so long against Kusanagi." he remarks.
"Would it surprise you if I said it was made from God's blood, Dragon bone, and indestructible crystals?" she says, looking up at the gravity-defying ninja to search for a valid mode of attack... Her swordsmanship was based entirely on it being horizontal... But a horizontal warrior against a vertical one holding their blade in their mouth? Very strange.
"Hmph, I will have to study it when I'm done with you.", with that, he jumped straight at her, literally falling onto her blade which goes right through his heart.
His blade continues however, going for her neck but only nicking her shoulder when she manoeuvres away. "Kukuku, our fight is finished. No one can survive Kusanagi's poison!" he cackles before regurgitating another body from his previous dying one.
Saeko just crooks a brow at him, "Poison? You've chosen the wrong opponent then, I'm immune."
*WHOOSH!*
"AAGHK!" Orochimaru yelps as his legs fly off, Saeko's attack easily dismembering them in one go. He vomits up another body, but it is clear to see his worry with the sweat now dripping down his pale face... The poison had been his trump card, so now he was just left with trickery and actual swordsmanship, the latter of which he hadn't trained, nor did he have his arms to utilise...
-------------------------------
Kabuto crashes through two more buildings before he finally rolls to a stop, most of the bones in his body had been shattered, but with some extensive medical jutsu, he'd managed to 'patch' himself up. His body releases a great amount of steam from his body's healing working over time, unfortunately, even with his expertise he could still barely stand when Michael arrived.
"Substitution Jutsu!" he casts, changing position with a nearby log just as Michae's foot splits it in two. He throws a dozen shuriken as he continues to try and gain some distance, but Michael just catches them all out of the air, jabbing his finger through the hole in the centre of the thrown weapons.
"The Sharingan is pretty ridiculous, huh..." he mutters before throwing them back, the sound of the shuriken breaking the sound barrier exploding as they hit the stone wall Kabuto had just conjured. Even with the wall, they crash through it and send stone shrapnel everywhere.
"How's it feel to be abandoned by the snake? He knew you were going to die, you realise?"
"No, he believed I would pull through. He never does anything without reason, this was planned." Kabuto stubbornly answers.
"Oh yeah, pull through this then. Amaterasu!" he exclaims, causing vicious black fire to manifest around Kabuto's leg.
The ninja immediately starts screaming, trying to pat it out to no avail. He tries to use healing jutsu but all the chakra he sends to the burning limb simply dissipates, causing the fire to grow larger and hotter.
After many failed attempts to put out the steadily spreading fire, Kabuto draws a kunai and begins hacking at his leg. Muscle splits, sinew cuts, and bone cracks, and eventually he'd rid himself of the cursed limb and sealed the wound with an abundance of healing chakra.
"Hah... Hah... Hah..." Kabuto pants as he observes his limb turn to ash.
"I'm surprised you decided to hack your leg off. Most would just go down with the ship." Michael shrugs at the side.
"Y-you..."
"Let's try another before you pass out. Tsukuyomi!"
The world fades and blackness replaces it, Kabuto waking up to find himself nailed to a cross...
"In this world, I'm god... Actually, I'm god wherever I go..." Michael shakes his head, "In this world, I'm your god." he corrects himself.
